To drive the vehicle it is necessary to be in

possession of all the requirements pre-

scribed by law (driving licence, minimum

age, psychophysical ability, insurance,

state taxes, vehicle registration, number

plate, etc.).

Gradually get to know the vehicle by driv-

ing it first in areas with low traffic and/or pri-

vate areas.

The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or

psychotropic substances notably increases

the risk of accidents.

Be sure that you are in good psychophysi-

cal conditions and fit for driving and pay

particular attention to physical weariness

and drowsiness.

Most road accidents are caused by the

driver’s lack of experience.

NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and,

in any case, make sure that the driver has

all the requirements for driving.

use and maintenance Pegaso 650

Rigorously observe all road signs and na-

tional and local road regulations.

Avoid abrupt movements that can be dan-

gerous for yourself and other people (for

example: rearing up on the back wheel,

speeding, etc.), and give due consideration

to the road surface, visibility and other driv-

ing conditions.

Avoid obstacles that could damage the ve-

hicle or make you lose control.

Avoid riding in the slipstream created by

preceding vehicles in order to increase

your speed.

Always drive with both hands on the han-

dlebars and both feet on the footrests (or

on the rider’s footboards), in the correct

driving posture.

Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs

while driving.

use and maintenance Pegaso 650

COOLER

OIL

The driver should pay attention and avoid

distractions caused by people, things and

movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read,

etc.) while driving.

Use only the vehicle’s specific fuels and lu-

bricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT

CHART"; check the oil, fuel and coolant

levels regularly.

If the vehicle has been involved in an acci-

dent, make sure that no damage has oc-

curred to the control levers, pipes, wires,

braking system and vital parts.

If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by

an aprilia Official Dealer, who should care-

fully check the frame, handlebars, suspen-

sions, safety parts and all the devices that

you cannot check by yourself.

Always remember to report any malfunc-

tion to the technicians to help them in their

work.

Never use the vehicle when the amount of

damage it has suffered endangers your

safety.

use and maintenance Pegaso 650

ONLY ORIGINALS

Never change the position, inclination or

colour of: number plate, direction indica-

tors, lights and horns.

Any modification of the vehicle will result in

the invalidity of the guarantee.

Any modification of the vehicle and/or the

removal of original components can com-

promise vehicle performance levels and

safety or even make it illegal.

We recommend respecting all regulations

and national and local provisions regarding

the equipment of the vehicle.

In particular, avoid all modifications that in-

crease the vehicle’s performance levels or

alter its original characteristics.

Never race with other vehicles.

#,/4().'

Before starting, always wear a correctly

fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is

homologated, in good shape, of the right

size and that the visor is clean.

Wear protective clothing, preferably in light

and/or reflecting colours. In this way you

will make yourself more visible to the other

drivers, thus notably reducing the risk of

being knocked down, and you will be more

protected in case of fall.

This clothing should be very tight-fitting

and fastened at the wrists and ankles.

Strings, belts and ties should not be hang-

ing loose; prevent these and other objects

from interfering with driving by getting en-

tangled with moving parts or driving mech-

anisms.

use and maintenance Pegaso 650

Do not keep objects that can be dangerous

in case of fall, for example pointed objects

like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your

pockets (the same recommendations also

apply to passengers).

!##%33/2)%3

The owner of the vehicle is responsible for

the choice, installation and use of any ac-

cessory.

Avoid installing accessories that cover

horns or lights or that could impair their

functions, limit the suspension stroke and

the steering angle, hamper the operation of

the controls and reduce the distance from

the ground and the angle of inclination in

turns.

Avoid using accessories that hamper ac-

cess to the controls, since this can prolong

reaction times during an emergency.

Large fairings and windscreens assembled

on the vehicle can produce aerodynamic

forces capable of compromising the stabili-

ty of the vehicle while driving.

Make sure that the equipment is well fas-

tened to the vehicle and not dangerous

during driving. Do not install electrical de-

vices and do not modify those already ex-

isting to avoid electrical overloads, be-

cause the vehicle could suddenly stop or

there could be a dangerous current short-

age in the horn and in the lights. aprilia

recommends the use of genuine accesso-

ries (aprilia genuine accessories).

,/!$

Be careful and moderate when loading

your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as

close as possible to the centre of the vehi-

cle and distribute the load uniformly on

both sides, in order to reduce imbalance to

the minimum. Furthermore, make sure that

the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, es-

pecially during long trips.

use and maintenance Pegaso 650

KG!

Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or danger-

ous objects on the handlebars, mudguards

and forks, because the vehicle might re-

spond more slowly in turns and its ma-

noeuvrability could be unavoidably im-

paired.

Do not place bags that are too bulky on the

vehicle sides and do not ride with the crash

helmet hanging from its string, because it

could hit people or obstacles making you

lose control of the vehicle.

Do not carry any bag if it is not tightly se-

cured to the vehicle.

Do not carry bags which protrude too much

from the luggage rack or which cover the

lights, horn or indicators.

Do not carry animals or children on the

glove compartment or on the luggage rack.

Do not exceed the maximum load allowed

for each side-bag.

When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability

and its manoeuvrability can be compro-

mised.

Description Function

Direction indicator

warning light

It blinks when the direction indicators are on.

Neutral indicator warning light

q It comes on when the gear is in neutral.

Engine oil pressure

warning light

It comes on every time the ignition switch is brought to position "n" and the engine is not run-

ning, thus checking the proper functioning of the lamp. If during this phase the lamp does not

turn on, it must be replaced. The warning light must go off when the engine is running.

If the warning light comes on during the normal running of the engine, this

means that the oil pressure in the circuit is insufficient. In this case, immediate-

ly stop the engine and contact your APRILIA Official Dealer.

High beam warning light

It comes on when the headlight is in "high beam" position or when the high beam signalling is

operated.

Parking light

and low beam warning light

It comes on when the lights are on.

Low fuel warning light

It comes on when the quantity of fuel left in the tank is about 6 L (electrical reserve).

In this case, provide for immediate topping up, see p. 21 (FUEL).

Revolution counter

It indicates the number of revolutions of the engine per minute.

Never exceed the engine max. rpm, see p. 34 (RUNNING-IN).

Total kilometres odometer It indicates the total number of kilometres covered.

Speedometer It indicates the driving speed.

Coolant temperature indicator

It indicates the approximate temperature of the coolant in the engine. When the pointer starts

moving beyond level "40", the temperature is sufficient for driving the vehicle. The normal

running temperature range is indicated by the graduated area of the scale. If the pointer

reaches the red area, stop the engine and check the coolant level, see p. 26 (COOLANT).

If the maximum allowed temperature is exceeded (red area of the scale), the en-

gine may be seriously damaged.

Partial kilometres odometer It indicates the partial number of kilometres covered. To set it to zero, use the odometer trip control.

Odometer trip control Rotate it anticlockwise to set the partial kilometres odometer to zero.
